On condition that the capital letters on this tune spell “KIM,” listeners are satisfied that this track, which on the floor seems to be a couple of faculty bully, is taking a shot at Kim Kardashian.
The ladies famously disputed about Kardashian’s then husband, Kanye West, name-checking Swift in his track, “Well-known.”
“To all my southside n****s that know me greatest/I really feel like me and Taylor would possibly nonetheless have intercourse/Why? I made that b**** well-known,” West raps on the track. Kardashian shared an edited video meant to show that Swift had heard and authorised the lyric upfront, which Swift denied.
All of it led to a complete “Taylor Swift is a snake” trend on social media, and Swift has talked about how she withdrew into herself throughout that point.
In “thanK you aIMee” Swift sings, “I modified your identify and any actual defining clues/ And sooner or later, your child comes residence singin’ a track that solely us two is gonna know is about you.”
